Evil little green underlined words and pop-ups!

It seems like I can't open one regular browser window w/o it opening 1 pop-up ad and sometimes many more. Also, general words like "car, job, travel, etc" are coming up underlined in green and when clicked on go to some search site!

I have windows ME which I know sucks but I've really had enough with these problems.

I ran CWshredder and it found several things which I repaired but even after that - I am still having pop-ups even with a pop-up blocker! I use spybot search & destroy, and Ad-Aware everyday - both finding problems each time I run them. But even after "fixing" the problems - they are still happening!!!

I dl'ed hijack this and ran it and I'm sending you a log of my results w/o touching anything, if you could review it and let me know what to fix that would be terrific....I'm just glad that I found *some* information about this.

I am not an expert, but if what you are describing is what I am thinking about it is a program that is being run by that site to get extra revenue. It freaked me out the first time I saw it, but it only happened to one site. Then when I explored I found out that site installed that program on purpose to help pay the bills.

No, the one labeled "Antivirus" is not really an antirvirus program, its a virus in itself.

I can't totally tell what these are, so unless you know, check them. These type of entries will try to reinstall when you revisit their respective websites that installed them in the first place, so there's not much harm done in checking them:

Do you know what this IP is? 198.214.144.1Its listed as being a proxy server, and its registered to the university of texas at austin.

Next reboot into safe mode quickly.Delete these files any way you can. Print, write, memorize these files to delete, but please don't go without getting them all... Delete only files/folders in the folder/directories I specify, some may mimic real windows files, but be in the wrong place!C:\WINDOWS\2_0_1browserhelper2.dllC:\PROGRAM FILES\TV MEDIA\ <-- FOLDERC:\PROGRAM FILES\ZSEARCH\ <-- FOLDERC:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\ <--- FOLDER (if it exists anymore)C:\windows\system\uuxmiocq.dllC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSKPKC.DLLC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSIBKD.DLLC:\WINDOWS\AV.EXEC:\WINDOWS\DEALHLPR.DLLc:\Windows\System\zzb.exeC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\msgked.exeC:\WINDOWS\dhbrwsr.exeC:\WINDOWS\DHUpdt.exeC:\WINDOWS\svivifkf.exeC:\WINDOWS\ngdsbdxb.exeC:\PROGRAM FILES\ACCELERATION SOFTWARE\ANTI-VIRUS\ <-- FOLDER

If you can't delete a folder somehow, try at least to delete all the files inside of it, and let me know which files were undeletable...

Then, restart back to normal mode, and make a new hijackthis log. We probably aren't done.

If you have AIM, MSN Messenger, Y! IM, Outlook accounts, ICQ, SoundBlaster Registration, ZA Pro registration, and/or you've set your real phone into the windows dialing system for the 'Home' location, consider it comprimised and stolen and change it NOW on a different computer or on your current one after we've cleaned you up.
